6-month neurological and psychiatric outcomes in 236 379 survivors of COVID-19: a retrospective cohort study using electronic health records
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Neurological and psychiatric sequelae of COVID-19 have been reported, but more data are needed to adequately assess the effects of COVID-19 on brain health. We aimed to provide robust estimates of incidence rates and relative risks of neurological and psychiatric diagnoses in patients in the 6 months following a COVID-19 diagnosis. METHODS: For this retrospective cohort study and time-to-event analysis, we used data obtained from the TriNetX electronic health records network (with over 81 million patients). Our primary cohort comprised patients who had a COVID-19 diagnosis; one matched control cohort included patients diagnosed with influenza, and the other matched control cohort included patients diagnosed with any respiratory tract infection including influenza in the same period. Patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 or a positive test for SARS-CoV-2 were excluded from the control cohorts. All cohorts included patients older than 10 years who had an index event on or after Jan 20, 2020, and who were still alive on Dec 13, 2020. We estimated the incidence of 14 neurological and psychiatric outcomes in the 6 months after a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19: intracranial haemorrhage; ischaemic stroke; parkinsonism; Guillain-Barré syndrome; nerve, nerve root, and plexus disorders; myoneural junction and muscle disease; encephalitis; dementia; psychotic, mood, and anxiety disorders (grouped and separately); substance use disorder; and insomnia. Using a Cox model, we compared incidences with those in propensity score-matched cohorts of patients with influenza or other respiratory tract infections. We investigated how these estimates were affected by COVID-19 severity, as proxied by hospitalisation, intensive therapy unit (ITU) admission, and encephalopathy (delirium and related disorders). We assessed the robustness of the differences in outcomes between cohorts by repeating the analysis in different scenarios. To provide benchmarking for the incidence and risk of neurological and psychiatric sequelae, we compared our primary cohort with four cohorts of patients diagnosed in the same period with additional index events: skin infection, urolithiasis, fracture of a large bone, and pulmonary embolism. FINDINGS: Among 236 379 patients diagnosed with COVID-19, the estimated incidence of a neurological or psychiatric diagnosis in the following 6 months was 33·62% (95% CI 33·17-34·07), with 12·84% (12·36-13·33) receiving their first such diagnosis. For patients who had been admitted to an ITU, the estimated incidence of a diagnosis was 46·42% (44·78-48·09) and for a first diagnosis was 25·79% (23·50-28·25). Regarding individual diagnoses of the study outcomes, the whole COVID-19 cohort had estimated incidences of 0·56% (0·50-0·63) for intracranial haemorrhage, 2·10% (1·97-2·23) for ischaemic stroke, 0·11% (0·08-0·14) for parkinsonism, 0·67% (0·59-0·75) for dementia, 17·39% (17·04-17·74) for anxiety disorder, and 1·40% (1·30-1·51) for psychotic disorder, among others. In the group with ITU admission, estimated incidences were 2·66% (2·24-3·16) for intracranial haemorrhage, 6·92% (6·17-7·76) for ischaemic stroke, 0·26% (0·15-0·45) for parkinsonism, 1·74% (1·31-2·30) for dementia, 19·15% (17·90-20·48) for anxiety disorder, and 2·77% (2·31-3·33) for psychotic disorder. Most diagnostic categories were more common in patients who had COVID-19 than in those who had influenza (hazard ratio [HR] 1·44, 95% CI 1·40-1·47, for any diagnosis; 1·78, 1·68-1·89, for any first diagnosis) and those who had other respiratory tract infections (1·16, 1·14-1·17, for any diagnosis; 1·32, 1·27-1·36, for any first diagnosis). As with incidences, HRs were higher in patients who had more severe COVID-19 (eg, those admitted to ITU compared with those who were not: 1·58, 1·50-1·67, for any diagnosis; 2·87, 2·45-3·35, for any first diagnosis). Results were robust to various sensitivity analyses and benchmarking against the four additional index health events. INTERPRETATION: Our study provides evidence for substantial neurological and psychiatric morbidity in the 6 months after COVID-19 infection. Risks were greatest in, but not limited to, patients who had severe COVID-19. This information could help in service planning and identification of research priorities. Complementary study designs, including prospective cohorts, are needed to corroborate and explain these findings.

TL;DR
In a retrospective cohort of 236,379 COVID-19 survivors, 33.62% received a neurological or psychiatric diagnosis within 6 months, and 12.84% received a first such diagnosis. Risks were higher than after influenza or other respiratory tract infections and were greatest in patients with more severe COVID-19, including ITU admission or encephalopathy.
Key findings
- Among 236,379 patients with COVID-19, the estimated 6-month incidence of any neurological or psychiatric diagnosis was 33.62% (95% CI 33.17–34.07), and of any first diagnosis was 12.84% (12.36–13.33). For ITU-admitted patients, these were 46.42% (44.78–48.09) and 25.79% (23.50–28.25); for patients with encephalopathy, 62.34% (60.14–64.55) and 31.13% (27.29–35.36).
- Individual 6-month incidences in the whole COVID-19 cohort included anxiety disorder 17.39% (17.04–17.74), mood disorder 13.66% (13.35–13.99), psychotic disorder 1.40% (1.30–1.51), ischaemic stroke 2.10% (1.97–2.23), intracranial haemorrhage 0.56% (0.50–0.63), dementia 0.67% (0.59–0.75), and parkinsonism 0.11% (0.08–0.14).
- Compared with influenza, COVID-19 was associated with higher risk of any diagnosis (HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.40–1.47) and any first diagnosis (1.78, 1.68–1.89); compared with other respiratory tract infections, HRs were 1.16 (1.14–1.17) and 1.32 (1.27–1.36), respectively. ITU admission versus no ITU admission was associated with HR 1.58 (1.50–1.67) for any diagnosis and 2.87 (2.45–3.35) for any first diagnosis.
- Most diagnostic categories were more common after COVID-19 than after influenza, except parkinsonism and Guillain-Barré syndrome, for which HRs were not significantly greater than 1 versus influenza.
Methods
- Retrospective cohort and time-to-event analysis using the TriNetX electronic health records network (over 81 million patients, 62 health-care organisations, primarily USA). The primary cohort had confirmed COVID-19 (ICD-10 U07.1); control cohorts had influenza or any respiratory tract infection including influenza, with COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2-positive patients excluded. All cohorts included patients older than 10 years with an index event on or after Jan 20, 2020, alive on Dec 13, 2020.
- Fourteen neurological and psychiatric outcomes were assessed 1–180 days after the index event, with first versus any diagnoses estimated depending on whether outcomes were chronic or recurrent. Cohorts were propensity-score matched 1:1 on 55 variables; incidence was estimated with Kaplan-Meier, comparisons with log-rank tests, and hazard ratios with Cox proportional hazards models.
- Secondary analyses examined COVID-19 severity via hospitalisation, ITU admission, and encephalopathy, with matched comparisons; sensitivity analyses included patients who died, test-confirmed COVID-19, and pre-pandemic influenza comparisons, plus benchmarking against four additional index events.
Limitations
- The paper states limitations inherent to electronic health records: unknown completeness of records, no validation of diagnoses, and sparse information on socioeconomic and lifestyle factors. It also notes that the choice of comparator cohort influenced hazard ratio magnitude, that encephalopathy was likely under-recorded and results should not be generalised to all patients with delirium, that timing differences and undiagnosed COVID-19 in controls likely made HRs underestimates, and that the study can only show associations, not causality.
- Evident from the text: despite propensity-score matching, residual confounding may remain; diagnoses rely on ICD-10 codes; and follow-up is limited to 6 months, so longer-term trajectories and duration of risk are not established.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-07, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-07 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
